Website / Landing Pages Creation

Landing pages or websites are a necessary part of your author platform, because they provide a way for readers to learn more about your book and connect with you. Readers look to the internet for information and if you’re not there, readers won’t be able to find you. However, we’re not going to debate the when, where, how or why of website creation but we are going to advocate the simple, yet effective approach to the self publisher. At a bare minimum, an author landing page, with the ability to offer readers the option to buy, is the perfect solution on a budget. So we suggest a landing page integrated with Aer.io.

If you truly want a website – then answer this one question. Do you know how to promote your website? If not your money is wasted. A website is like a marketing flyer – if you keep it in the top draw of your cupboard then nobody knows it exists. Same… if you don’t promote your website then nobody knows it exists.

Aer.io is being fully integrated into IngramSpark, giving self-published authors an unprecedented range of direct retailing and social marketing capabilities. Established as a direct-to-consumer solution for publishers, this allows self-publishing writers to offer their eBooks and printed books to purchasers direct from their own websites or through the social web. These stores can be shared in a simple link, and for those self publishers familiar with YouTube, can be embedded as easily as uploading a video.

This will spur on self publishers to build their own independent platforms of readers, helping them realize real income, directly from their own publishing efforts.
